All Successful Applicants

Dear guys please help us unfortunate ones. could you please post here the role and job descriptions/duties you stated in your successful applications. This will help many applicants as we can compare and incorporate some of these duties in our references, depending on our various roles.

Thank You!

very good idea cauz most of the rejections these days are on the basis of lack of "Graduate" level experience. My case hasnt been processed as yet so i dont think mine will be helpful but if anyone wants to i can paste the responsibilities i placed in my letter.

Rather than a list of job duties that might not even apply to everyone on this board even though I'm sure many people have gotten away with glorifying everyday tasks by using big fancy words.

My recommendation is to go to your Human Resources (HR) office and get a copy of your original job description/posting and any request to recruit forms showing that they were looking to hire you specifically. These documents are part of your HR file and you should be allowed copies of them. I don’t think Home Office is looking at the responsibilities alone (especially not the ones written by you) but the actually job posting responsibilities of your employer that should state that a certain level of experience is required for the position, usually a degree of some sort.

I think doing this is one of the best options (if its possible for you) because it brings everything about your work experience to the front and from the source, Human Resources.

Although some have gotten by with official letters from employers.

Best Wishes.

help yourself!

Come on guys, read the guidance notes and the website FAQ and write something that sells yourself to the criteria, backing it up with documentation. Surely you can pick up the keywords -- "senior", "specialist", "graduate level experience", the number of years' experience needed to get points etc. Write a suggested form of words to give to your employer/former employer so they have an idea of what is needed for a statement of your experience. Get whatever ORIGINAL documentation you can to back up your case. What about job ads for similar positions to yours that state a degree is required? You may be able to use these. Yes, you may have to bug people to gather all the docs and references, but do you really want this or not?

If you can't document your case to a level that satisfies the criteria, well, sorry, you just don't qualify for those points.
